I think you are right, Joe. The previous 9 panel was just one single jpeg,
whereas now one can click within it to get the individual images enlarged.


Sorry, but you will have to explain to me how this format is superior
to the basic MSLP charts at 6 hour intervals.

Why not just go to

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/topkarten/fsavneur.html

Click on the model of your choice and then on Mittl.Wolken and you can
peruse the forecasts for the next 2 weeks at your leisure.


But that way you only get to see one chart at a time. Seeing all the
charts at once makes it easier to see the progression from one to the
next, and to spot any significant developments. As an example:

http://www.wetterzentrale.de/pics/avnpanel2.html

nicely shows a "pulse" of colder air travelling across Europe starting
on the 7th and arriving at the UK on the 9th.

It's also arguably quicker, if you decide that you only want to expand
one or two of the charts..
